An interesting way of using flint and steel.

[Yin]

Yosuppeeps! The nub here with a great tip.

I use my Flint and Steel differently. This tip normally gets the victim to flames when I use it. Here's a step-by-step guide to do so.

Notes: yes, I know you can do the same tip with a fishing rod, but nowadays it's a little bit easier to tell, so this tip will be a bit more surprising to players, and good if you don't have a fishing rod.

Also, if this fails for you a couple times, maybe it's how far you've knocked back the player. If you have no clue how to do that, then try practicing this technique standing still, walking, sprinting, and sprint jumping. Each gives more knock-back(if I can remember simple Minecraft physics), until you find the amount of knockback you like.

1. if you're being chased, at one point, turn around
2. Take out your Flint and Steel
3. when in reach, don't light the player up, punch the player with the Flint and Steel
4. A little tricky. Set the block the player was originally on into flames, and then most of the time the player will walk right back on the block they just were, setting the player ablaze.

Hopefully I helped you out.

I really like the unexpected fire trick created by noahsailer. I use it myself all the time. But I feel the best way to use fns is to either hit them once and then place fns on the block in front of them or just predict where they are going to go and place fns there. Sometimes I throw them off by purposely placing an fns off to the side so they move one way to dodge it then place another one in the other direction. Works all the time

:/ Ok ill try it, It seems like a good tactic.

I'm probably too retarded to do that xD. I don't know how I can play like 5 instruments with my fingers but literally cannot press a button down on a mouse at the right time.

Haha my tactics are pretty good. So yeah. I might make a tutorial video on it.

I just turn so quickly it's not like I even turned at all, leaving them in fire. I also do a 180 and walk straight at my opponent, then fns the area right infront of him. I just place the FnS where I think they'll walk to.

It's the same as FanBouyant, it's like ridiculously quick, pretty cool. Knowing me I'd do a 360 and end up lighting myself on fire..

or, if someones chasing you and they're quite far behind you, turn around and start to eat anything (preferable golden apple as it's eatable at all times) then before you finish it, wait for the enemy to get close and switch to a flint and steel and light the block in front of you, you may get hit from their sword, but they're almost guaranteed to be set alight

That one is tricky, many people now know of that. I used to do it all the time, but it like doesn't work anymore. The bow one is good, pretending to shoot then switching.

I'm lazy with my FnS strategy. The average player will run straight into it, so I just back up and place it in front of me if I don't know my opponent is good.
